I’ve stated earlier than that the best chronicle of English tradition is a Duke Nukem 3D stage, and that continues to be true. In a bleak nation stuffed with absurd occasions taking place at breakneck tempo, modder Dan Douglas is doing his greatest to seize them in his stage, Duke Smoochem 3D. Barely a day after British prime minister Boris Johnson introduced his intent to resign, Douglas has already added it to his yet-unfinished stage. And sure, he is made it even sillier.

Douglas right here is combining Johnson’s resignation speech with the time he received caught on a zipline as mayor of London in the course of the 2012 Olympics. The skip is simply wishful considering.
Earlier than Johnson’s announcement, he had already added the Sky Information ticker holding observe of the numerous, many authorities resignations that ultimately pressured Johnson’s hand.

Individuals treating Boris Johnson as a wacky buffoon reasonably than a calculating politician dedicated to gutting Britain for the sake of his wealthy buddies is a part of why he is managed to do such hurt, however I am cool with it right here. That is, in spite of everything, a Duke Nukem 3D stage the place opposition chief Kier Starmer is within the Nice British Bake Off tent calling in an airstrike on an alpaca.
I stay impressed by not solely how a lot Douglas is cramming into what he calls “a UK leftist interactive shitpost” and the way rapidly he does it, however how good he is making it look. Do flick by means of the remainder of that Twitter thread for some spectacular design, texture work, and technical trickery.
I’m beginning to concern he would possibly by no means end and launch Duke Smoochem—not for our sake, for his. Will England cease being daft for lengthy sufficient for him to catch up and name it completed? Appears unlikely. Possibly he ought to obtain a lifelong Arts Council grant, change into an official chronicler. It’s going to lastly be launched as-is upon his demise, and future generations shall come to know the ludicrous land as soon as often called Enger.
